About

Poverty Talks is an organization in Calgary made up of those who are living or have lived in poverty, advocating for the needs of those in poverty. This includes advocating for better policy at the community, municipal, provincial and federal levels as well as challenging the way society thinks of people in poverty at large through community conversations.

As of February 2016 Poverty Talks officially joined Vibrant Communities Calgary as the Advisory Group to the Board of Directors of Vibrant Communities Calgary and the Enough for All strategy to reduce poverty in Calgary.
